Billionaire lifestyle: Neymar’s million-dollar NFT investment establishes him as a wise ‘player’
Together with teammates Verratti and Paredes, the Brazilian star of Paris Saint-Germain has purchased two pieces from the Bored Ape Yacht Club line.
You don’t have to be a Titian, Constable, or Monet specialist to recognize how the art world is changing. We are seeing some of the world’s largest organizations, including as Meta and Twitter, as well as a number of celebrities, invest in these crypto assets because digital works are worth billions of dollars each year.
Athletes are drawn to NFTs.
Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, moved about $40 billion in total last year alone, and some prominent football players are getting involved. Real Madrid’s Luka Modric has amassed his own collection of NFTs, while Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar Jr. has spent nearly a million euros on two intriguing things.
The Brazilian gamer was able to purchase two items from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection through OpenSea, the main market for this type of token. The gamer used the Ethereum cryptocurrency to pay 159.99 ETH for one of the illustrations and 189.69 ETH for the other, which amounts to around $521,000 for the first and $624,000 for the second in US dollars.
The purchase was made using his custom wallet on the website, which bears his initials and the moniker “EneJay.” What’s more surprising is that he then revealed on his Instagram page that he had done the deal with two other people. Leandro Paredes and Marco Verratti, two of his PSG teammates, are said to have also contributed to the cost, although neither of them has chosen to share any pictures on social media like Neymar has.
Collection from the famed Bored Ape Yacht Club
Digital art enthusiasts greatly prize the pieces that make up the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection, but famous people from all around the world have also taken notice of them. On that list are rapper Eminem, NBA three-point specialist Stephen Curry, and well-known TV host Jimmy Fallon.
It should be mentioned that Neymar also signed a contract with the company NFTSTAR in November of last year to produce, market, and distribute collector NFTs.
